physical-chemical wastewater treatment process

Finally taking into account the intended uses, no concentrated quantities of the microorganisms are released in the sewages and this indicates a low risk to biological methods of sewage treatment.

The risk assessment concluded that there is no need for risk reduction measures beyond those which are being applied already with regard to risk to consumers, human health (physico-chemical properties), risks to the atmosphere and risks to micro-organisms in the sewage treatment plant, and that there is a need for further information and or testing with respect to risks to workers, to humans exposed via the environment and to the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem, in order to adequately characterise the concerns regarding the persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic properties of the substance.[8] Commission ...[+++]Regulation 565/2006 required further studies to be carried out for the purpose of risk evaluation, including on developmental neurotoxicity, human bio-monitoring and environmental monitoring programmes.[9] The risks caused by the use of Deca-BDE in EEE are aggravated by recent findings[10] about uncontrolled dumping of waste in the EU and in particular about illegal trade of WEEE to countries with sub-standard waste management conditions. User industry can apply for temporary exemptions from the ban following the criteria of Article 5(1)(b) of the present proposal.

Thanks to the projects given as examples, we have investments not only for building wastewater treatment plants but also for developing methods and tools for protecting drinking water sources.

physico-chemical treatment, with the exclusion of activities covered by Council Directive 91/271/EEC of 21 May 1991 concerning urban waste-water treatment and which result only in treated sludge, as defined in Council Directive 86/278/EEC of 12 June 1986 on the protection of the environment, and in particular of the soil, when sewage sludge is used in agriculture .
